TRAVELING REQUISITE IN BAG FORM.

Specification of Letters Patent.

Application filed July 5, 1912.

Patented Mar. 18,1913.

Serial No. 707,763.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, JOHANNES SAHL, manufacturer, a citizen of the GermanEmpire, and resident of lViesbaden, in the Province of Hesse- Nassau,Kingdom of Prussia, Germany, (whose post-oflice address isIVilhelmstrasse 4:2, iesbaden,) have invented certain new and usefulImprove ments in Traveling Requisites in Bag Form; and I do herebydeclare the following to be a full, clear, and exact description of theinvention, such as will enable others skilled in the art to which itappertains to make and use the same.

This traveling requisite in bag form is a novelty whose uniquearrangement absolutely guarantees the articles packed within it againstbreakage while at the same time compressing them within the smallestpossible compass. In spite of its flexibility the bag stands firmly,rendering damage from leaking bottles quite impossible.

By this innovation toilet articles and appliances such as bottles,brushes, combs, files, knives, etc., are stored in the form of a staralong the side of the bag with the aid of pockets, pouches or othersuitable receptacles, and in the center conveniently fastened to thebottom of the bag is fitted another receptacle of flexible material 6.g. a second bag to hold the sponge, friction towels, washing flannel,drying towel, and other flexible articles. This grouping of the toiletarticles star fashion within a bag around a central flexible receptacleabsolutely insures them against breakage, at the same time keeping themtogther and in the smallest possible compass. Moreover by this arrangement of the fittings there is the further advantage that, onplacing the bag in posi tion, a good standing-base is created, whoseform can be increased by a corresponding arrangement of the bottom ofthe bag. This gives the bag the necessary stability,

when it is opened, so that, when using the toilet articles, especiallywhen manipulating with opened bottles, there is no possibility of anydamage being done to the bag.

The annexed drawings give an exact reproduction of the invention.

Figure 1 shows the bag shut, Fi 2 shows the bag opened, together withthe toilet articles.

As will be seen from Fig. 2 the toilet fittings A, B, C, D, E, F, G, H,I, are fastened by means of pouches (K) to the side of the bag (L) insuch a way that they lie in star formation around the central receptacle(M) which serves to hold a sponge or other flexible toilet articles. Thenature of the fittings and their particular grouping does not affect theprinciple of the invention, nor is the shape of ti e bag, its outwarddressing or material a matter of importance. For fastening the bagarrangements of a very diverse character may be employed, thesedepending on the nature of the bag and its contents.

Having thus described what is claimed as new is- A receptacle for toiletarticles consisting of a pouch bag having flexible sides and a puckeringmouth at its top, an inner bag composed of flexible material secured tothe bottom of said bag and adapted to receive a sponge or otherarticles, and a series of interior pockets disposed in the wall of saidpouch bag around said inner bag and adapted to hold toilet articles inupright position against the inner bag which serves as a cushion forsaid pocket when the pouch bag is closed and to lie in inclined exposedposition when the mouth of the pouch bag is open.
